BREAK Basic
4 ladies chain go straight across the ring now

The men swing in, you've got a right hand in
Shoot that star, grand right & left, go around the ring now
Meet young Maggie, promenade
I walked through the halls where we danced, Maggie
When you and I were young
FIGURE Mainstream - SSD Week 12, corner progression
Heads square thru 4 hands around the ring now
All the way around, dosado I say

*We square danced till dawn many times, Maggie
When you and I were young

*We didn't have this beat to move our feet, Maggie
When you and I were young
